Three super easy and sure-to-please gift ideas you can assemble in minutes

Hello everyone! It’s officially November and before we know it, holiday shopping will begin in earnest. Are you ready?

Before I start today’s post, I want to be clear that this is not my recipe. The original recipe as well as that beautiful photo are from AllRecipes.com. I LOVE their site and the Dinner Spinner app. Especially when I am struggling for ideas on what to make for company breakfasts, brunches, lunches, dinners… The struggle is real folks.

As I said, I originally found this recipe on a lucky spin of the Dinner Spinner app. Follow the link above to check it out along with a quick little video that shows you how to assemble everything. At the time that I was searching for this recipe I had company coming for the weekend and I wanted something special. I was also in search of something I could make that would solve the age-old issue of getting my entire breakfast on the table at one time. This is why I like breakfast bakes so much; because you have pretty much everything in a single pan. Make, bake and serve! Ta Da! When I found this recipe I knew it would be a big hit with my hubby and our guests and it didn’t disappoint. Even better, it’s a make-ahead recipe that you prep the night before and pop in the oven in the morning. This is a big plus for me because it allows me to enjoy my morning cup of coffee at leisure rather than spending my whole morning in the kitchen.

The other big plus for this recipe is that the ingredients are simple and easily found in any store. Well that, and it just takes a few minutes to put together. If you really want a peachy zing, whip up a batch of peach preserve “syrup” to pour over it. All you have to do is heat up some peach preserves and a little apple juice (ratio about 3 or 4 :1 ) Use your best judgment. You’re going for a nice syrup, not thin and runny. Combine the two in a saucepan to heat through and then let your guests ladle it over their toast. A dollop of whipped cream isn’t out of line either. Just sayin’!

I hope you give this recipe a try and let me know how it turns out. I’m thinking it’s just the thing for breakfast tomorrow.

Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

I know what you are thinking. I can almost see the eye roll. Because, why would I be talking about Christmas when we haven’t even made it past Halloween yet? Those who know me, know that this sort of thing usually bugs the heck out […]
